Denver swelters with hottest day of the year so far
Welcome to the Summer sizzle! Denver managed to heat up to 91 degrees on Wednesday afternoon with lots of sunshine and downslope winds. That is 10 degrees above normal for this time of the year.
Even though that temperature is way above normal it is 6 degrees shy of the record high. The record for June 5th is 96 degrees set back in 2020.
Our average first 90 degree day is June 10.
The rest of the week will stay above normal for this time of year. Thursday will have a small cooldown by just a few degrees.
Friday may deliver another 90 degree day to Denver with possibly the first 100 degree day of the year in Grand Junction on the Western Slope.
This weekend, temperatures will gradual cool with a better chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
